Nice catch, picking up on the back of the Marsans postcard being identical to the 1922 Exhibit P/C Backs series. A little more google image searching uncovers that LOTG auctions ran several uncatalogued 1922 Exhibit P/C Backs, all labeled as such in SGC holders, a little while back. Here are five of the key players that I found: Speaker, Hornsby, Faber, Cobb & GC Alexander. Does anyone know if the images used for those 5 postcards were "borrowed" from another 1920's exhibit card series or maybe another photo source? If so, that might explain why a Marsans might exist with a 1917-18 image, there would not be any other 1920's images of him to "borrow" from.

The photo used for the exhibit pc Speaker is taken from his Mendelsohn m101-6 card, although the text/typeset is different.

If the card is legit and not a later strike using a borrowed image, then I would think it at least possible if not likely that it was issued during the m101-6 run, believed to be 1917-1920. I would not put it past someone simply trimming the larger m101-6 to fit their needs, although why they wouldn't use just standard postcard size escapes me, and the stock would be thinner than typical postcard stock. If not that, they could have used Mendelsohn's image and font, with or without permission, to create their own postcard.
I don't know why this card would have been printed after 1920 when the last of m101-6 had issued, since Marsans was finished playing in MLB, not just the Yankees, after 1918. Unless of course it is a non-period piece, perhaps a tribute set for Yankees or Cuban ballplayers.

I stand corrected on the copyright symbol being present on the Marsans m101-6. That seems to me why the image was cropped from the left--so as to remove the copyright from view. In that case I doubt Felix gave his permission.
